Love a banner!

Birthday parties are in the air for Lily our 5 year old daughter and I’ve taken to making banners for all the girls using our matching ‘Frozen’ colours of Lagoon and Thistle cardstock. Matched with our fabulous Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686) this cartridge has the most versatile shapes. When girls ask me which of the Close To My Heart Cricut cartridges they should get their hands on first I always recommend this one!

6th Birthday card

For a quick matching card I LOVED playing with the banners from our May ~ Stamp of the Month ‘Just Sayin’ stamp set, this is available for just 4 more days! Using Lagoon Ink (Z2195) and Thistle Ink (Z2640) along with our matching Thistle Diagonal Striped Ribbon and the beaut Birthday sentiments of our Operation Smile ~ ‘Happy Everything’ stamp set (D1653).

I hope you enjoyed these quick banner ideas. See you next time!

Hello World

Welcome to my blog. I am so excited to share my passion about paper and all the creative ways you can make something beautiful with it. For such a long time I’ve been making cards. This was the beginning of my paper passion! I also love my photos and when I was first introduced to scrapbooking 20 years ago I knew this was what I wanted to do with my precious photos. Placing my photos in beautiful albums to share with my family and friends was the perfect match to preserve my own family memories.

Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of ‘Close To My Heart’ a paper crafting company where I’ve been an Independent Consultant for nearly two years. I enjoy playing with their awesome papers, stamps, inks and tools. I love to share it all with others and I hold workshops each month OR you can host your own party and make something beautiful in the comfort of your own home.

I look forward to inspiring you and sharing my ideas, here on my SWEET PAPER PASSION blog!
